IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ChromaDex Corporation® (OTCBB: CDXC) ("ChromaDex"), an innovative natural products company that provides proprietary, science-based solutions and ingredients to the dietary supplement, food & beverage, animal health, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, and marketer of its branded, patented pterostilbene, pTeroPure®, announced today it has entered into a letter of intent ("LOI") to sell its BluScience™ consumer product line to NeutriSci International ("NeutriSci"). The BluScience line of products can be found in over 15,000 retail locations across the United States.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110830/LA59283LOGO)
Frank Jaksch, CEO and Founder of ChromaDex stated, "By launching the BluScience consumer products, we achieved our primary goal of increasing the awareness of pTeroPure. We are excited to have found a strategic partner with strong nutraceutical consumer product marketing expertise to take the BluScience brand to the next level. We look forward to working with the NeutriSci team to make BluScience a tremendous success."
Mr. Keith Bushfield, NeutriSci President and CEO, stated, "We are pleased and excited that we were able to find such a strong strategic partner as ChromaDex. We feel ChromaDex has built a brand in BluScience that offers what consumers require – a clinically proven product line backed by strong scientific research and development. The consumer can be confident in both the efficacy and safety of this amazing natural line of health and wellness products. In addition to the North American market, I am excited to introduce BluScience globally starting with our vast network in Southeast Asia."
Under the terms of the LOI, upon closing the total transaction is valued at approximately $6.0 million and will consist of a combination of cash, senior secured debt and an ownership interest in NeutriSci. ChromaDex will continue to generate revenue through a royalty on future net sales of BluScience products as well as a supply agreement with NeutriSci for its patented pTeroPure pterostilbene, which will continue to be the key active ingredient in the BluScience product line. ChromaDex will retain all rights and ownership to its pTeroPure pterostilbene. NeutriSci paid a non-refundable $250,000 deposit to ChromaDex, which will be applied toward the total consideration to be paid. Closing is expected to occur before March 31, 2013 upon satisfaction of various closing conditions.
Closing of the proposed transaction is subject to numerous usual and customary conditions including, without limitation, further due diligence and entering into a definitive asset sale agreement as well as financing conditions. There can be no assurance that the transactions contemplated by the LOI will be consummated or that any of the conditions to closing will be satisfied. The LOI and this announcement do not constitute an offer to buy, or solicitation of an offer to sell, any securities of ChromaDex or NeutriSci.
Mr. Jaksch continued, "The sale of our BluScience product line will allow ChromaDex to focus on selling and marketing our pTeroPure ingredient, as well as accelerate the development of our novel ingredients pipeline. We continue to be confident about our business strategy of identifying early novel compounds, securing intellectual property, developing commercially viable production processes, investing in clinical data and executing a commercial launch."

If you were disappointed by the single-core Samsung Nexus S, then LG and Motorola are both working on Tegra 2 phones that should get you excited. We are expecting these dual-core handsets to be announced on January 5th at CES and be available in stores around late January to February, but it appears that Korea will get their hands on one of these new superphones first thanks to LG.
A Korean mobile news site called Cetizen has uncovered new pictures of the LG Star that look similar in shape to the leaked prototypes we saw on video, but the outer casing has been updated and this new unit now includes the carrier logo for SK Telecom. We don't normally see carrier-branded devices until they are ready to launch so I wouldn't be surprised if LG pushed it out this year.
To fully grasp the situation, you must understand the fierce rivalry between LG and Samsung. Both companies are based out of Korea and compete in just about every product category including phones, TV, appliances, and computers. Samsung is the largest Korean conglomerate company and LG is second so they are constantly trying to top their rival.
All signs point to LG releasing their dual-core phone any week now and I'm sure the execs at Samsung are really jealous. We know that Samsung has dual-core phones in testing, but we have yet to see any prototypes and it could still be several more months before their handsets are ready for stores.
We have been impressed with LG's recent Android efforts, like value-priced Optimus One, so I'm really excited to see what they do with the high-end phones. Recent leaks have shown the LG Star to be running Android 2.2, but hopefully they update it to 2.3 by the time it reaches our shores.
Which version of the LG Star do you like better? The early prototypes we saw or the final version for SK Telecom?

Video-Game Fans Hate Peter Dinklage
His voice-over work in Destiny is deemed "awful."
A new video game called Destiny features Peter Dinklage playing a "Ghost," a robotic guide who follows the player from planet to planet — giving a general running commentary on the game. But even though he's a robot and doesn't really have to emote, Dinklage still isn't quite selling it. Kotaku calls his performance, "flat ... muted ... often sounds phoned-in." And a Reddit thread asks: "He sounds borderline lazy in some of his lines. I think his voice is great, but needs to drink a few more coffees before recording." To which a commenter smartly answers, "... He's playing a little floating robot, not Tyrion." No matter your opinion on artificial intelligence, take a listen at his performance in Destiny below and see if you would follow this robot around a crumbling universe.

A quick primer on audio drivers, devices, and latencySteveG(AudioMasters) Jun 10, 2011 3:34 PM
This information has come from Durin, Adobe staffer:
Hi everyone,
A common question that comes up in these forums over and over has to do with recording latency, audio drivers, and device formats. I'm going to provide a brief overview of the different types of devices, how they interface with the computer and Audition, and steps to maximize performance and minimize the latency inherent in computer audio.
First, a few definitions:
Monitoring: listening to existing audio while simultaneously recording new audio.
Sample: The value of each individual bit of audio digitized by the audio device. Typically, the audio device measures the incoming signal 44,100 or 48,000 times every second.
Buffer Size: The "bucket" where samples are placed before being passed to the destination. An audio application will collect a buffers-worth of samples before feeding it to the audio device for playback. An audio device will collect a buffers-worth of samples before feeding it to the audio device when recording. Buffers are typically measured in Samples (command values being 64, 128, 512, 1024, 2048...) or milliseconds which is simply a calculation based on the device sample rate and buffer size.
Latency: The time span that occurs between providing an input signal into an audio device (through a microphone, keyboard, guitar input, etc) and when each buffers-worth of that signal is provided to the audio application. It also refers to the other direction, where the output audio signal is sent from the audio application to the audio device for playback. When recording while monitoring, the overall perceived latency can often be double the device buffer size.
ASIO, MME, CoreAudio: These are audio driver models, which simply specify the manner in which an audio application and audio device communicate. Apple Mac systems use CoreAudio almost exclusively which provides for low buffer sizes and the ability to mix and match different devices (called an Aggregate Device.) MME and ASIO are mostly Windows-exclusive driver models, and provide different methods of communicating between application and device. MME drivers allow the operating system itself to act as a go-between and are generally slower as they rely upon higher buffer sizes and have to pass through multiple processes on the computer before being sent to the audio device. ASIO drivers provide an audio application direct communication with the hardware, bypassing the operating system. This allows for much lower latency while being limited in an applications ability to access multiple devices simultaneously, or share a device channel with another application.
Dropouts: Missing audio data as a result of being unable to process an audio stream fast enough to keep up with the buffer size. Generally, dropouts occur when an audio application cannot process effects and mix tracks together quickly enough to fill the device buffer, or when the audio device is trying to send audio data to the application more quickly than it can handle it. (Remember when Lucy and Ethel were working at the chocolate factory and the machine sped up to the point where they were dropping chocolates all over the place? Pretend the chocolates were samples, Lucy and Ethel were the audio application, and the chocolate machine is the audio device/driver, and you'll have a pretty good visualization of how this works.)
Typically, latency is not a problem if you're simply playing back existing audio (you might experience a very slight delay between pressing PLAY and when audio is heard through your speakers) or recording to disk without monitoring existing audio tracks since precise timing is not crucial in these conditions. However, when trying to play along with a drum track, or sing a harmony to an existing track, or overdub narration to a video, latency becomes a factor since our ears are far more sensitive to timing issues than our other senses. If a bass guitar track is not precisely aligned with the drums, it quickly sounds sloppy. Therefore, we need to attempt to reduce latency as much as possible for these situations. If we simply set our Buffer Size parameter as low as it will go, we're likely to experience dropouts - especially if we have some tracks configured with audio effects which require additional processing and contribute their own latency to the chain. Dropouts are annoying but not destructive during playback, but if dropouts occur on the recording stream, it means you're losing data and your recording will never sound right - the data is simply lost. Obviously, this is not good.
Latency under 40ms is generally considered within the range of reasonable for recording. Some folks can hear even this and it affects their ability to play, but most people find this unnoticeable or tolerable. We can calculate our approximate desired buffer size with this formula:
(Sample per second / 1000) * Desired Latency
So, if we are recording at 44,100 Hz and we are aiming for 20ms latency: 44100 / 1000 * 20 = 882 samples. Most audio devices do not allow arbitrary buffer sizes but offer an array of choices, so we would select the closest option. The device I'm using right now offers 512 and 1024 samples as the closest available buffer sizes, so I would select 512 first and see how this performs. If my session has a lot of tracks and/or several effects, I might need to bump this up to 1024 if I experience dropouts.
Now that we hopefully have a pretty firm understanding of what constitutes latency and under what circumstances it is undesirable, let's take a look at how we can reduce it for our needs. You may find that you continue to experience dropouts at a buffer size of 1024 but that raising it to larger options introduces too much latency for your needs. So we need to determine what we can do to reduce our overhead in order to have quality playback and recording at this buffer size.
Effects: A common cause of playback latency is the use of effects. As your audio stream passes through an effect, it takes time for the computer to perform the calculations to modify that signal. Each effect in a chain introduces its own amount of latency before the chunk of audio even reaches the point where the audio application passes it to the audio device and starts to fill up the buffer. Audition and other DAWs attempt to address this through "latency compensation" routines which introduce a bit more latency when you first press play as they process several seconds of audio ahead of time before beginning to stream those chunks to the audio driver. In some cases, however, the effects may be so intensive that the CPU simply isn't processing the math fast enough. With Audition, you can "freeze" or pre-render these tracks by clicking the small lightning bolt button visible in the Effects Rack with that track selected. This performs a background render of that track, which automatically updates if you make any changes to the track or effect parameters, so that instead of calculating all those changes on-the-fly, it simply needs to stream back a plain old audio file which requires much fewer system resources. You may also choose to disable certain effects, or temporarily replace them with alternatives which may not sound exactly like what you want for your final mix, but which adequately simulate the desired effect for the purpose of recording. (You might replace the CPU-intensive Full Reverb effect with the lightweight Studio Reverb effect, for example. Full Reverb effect is mathematically far more accurate and realistic, but Studio Reverb can provide that quick "body" you might want when monitoring vocals, for example.) You can also just disable the effects for a track or clip while recording, and turn them on later.
Device and Driver Options: Different devices may have wildly different performance at the same buffer size and with the same session. Audio devices designed primarily for gaming are less likely to perform well at low buffer sizes as those designed for music production, for example. Even if the hardware performs the same, the driver mode may be a source of latency. ASIO is almost always faster than MME, though many device manufacturers do not supply an ASIO driver. The use of third-party, device-agnostic drivers, such as ASIO4ALL (www.asio4all.com) allow you to wrap an MME-only device inside a faux-ASIO shell. The audio application believes it's speaking to an ASIO driver, and ASIO4ALL has been streamlined to work more quickly with the MME device, or even to allow you to use different inputs and outputs on separate devices which ASIO would otherwise prevent.
We also now see more USB microphone devices which are input-only audio devices that generally use a generic Windows driver and, with a few exceptions, rarely offer native ASIO support. USB microphones generally require a higher buffer size as they are primarily designed for recording in cases where monitoring is unimportant. When attempting to record via a USB microphone and monitor via a separate audio device, you're more likely to run into issues where the two devices are not synchronized or drift apart after some time. (The ugly secret of many device manufacturers is that they rarely operate at EXACTLY the sample rate specified. The difference between 44,100 and 44,118 Hz is negligible when listening to audio, but when trying to precisely synchronize to a track recorded AT 44,100, the difference adds up over time and what sounded in sync for the first minute will be wildly off-beat several minutes later.) You are almost always going to have better sync and performance with a standard microphone connected to the same device you're using for playback, and for serious recording, this is the best practice. If USB microphones are your only option, then I would recommend making certain you purchase a high-quality one and have an equally high-quality playback device. Attempt to match the buffer sizes and sample rates as closely as possible, and consider using a higher buffer size and correcting the latency post-recording. (One method of doing this is to have a click or clap at the beginning of your session and make sure this is recorded by your USB microphone. After you finish your recording, you can visually line up the click in the recorded track with the click in the original track by moving your clip backwards in the timeline. This is not the most efficient method, but this alignment is the reason you see the clapboards in behind-the-scenes filmmaking footage.)
Other Hardware: Other hardware in your computer plays a role in the ability to feed or store audio data quickly. CPUs are so fast, and with multiple cores, capable of spreading the load so often the bottleneck for good performance - especially at high sample rates - tends to be your hard drive or storage media. It is highly recommended that you configure your temporary files location, and session/recording location, to a physical drive that is NOT the same as you have your operating system installed. Audition and other DAWs have absolutely no control over what Windows or OS X may decide to do at any given time and if your antivirus software or system file indexer decides it's time to start churning away at your hard drive at the same time that you're recording your magnum opus, you raise the likelihood of losing some of that performance. (In fact, it's a good idea to disable all non-essential applications and internet connections while recording to reduce the likelihood of external interference.) If you're going to be recording multiple tracks at once, it's a good idea to purchase the fastest hard drive your budget allows. Most cheap drives spin around 5400 rpm, which is fine for general use cases but does not allow for the fast read, write, and seek operations the drive needs to do when recording and playing back from multiple files simultaneously. 7200 RPM drives perform much better, and even faster options are available. While fragmentation is less of a problem on OS X systems, you'll want to frequently defragment your drive on Windows frequently - this process realigns all the blocks of your files so they're grouped together. As you write and delete files, pieces of each tend to get placed in the first location that has room. This ends up creating lots of gaps or splitting files up all over the disk. The act of reading or writing to these spread out areas cause the operation to take significantly longer than it needs to and can contribute to glitches in playback or loss of data when recording.

Roof & Gutter Cables prevent water damage caused by snow and ice buildup. Once again, working in conjunction with Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Wrap-On was granted the industry's first listing for the newly created category, "Roof and Gutter De-icing Cable for Metal or Plastic/Vinyl Gutters and Downspouts."
The Roof and Gutter cables work in conjunction with natural sunlight and a building's own heat dissipation. When natural thawing occurs, the cables create a channel that allows water to flow off the roof and through gutters and downspouts. Easy to operate, they simply plug in for years of trouble-free operation.
The Wrap-On® Company has been manufacturing electric pipe heating cables, roof & gutter cables and a variety of other winterization products for more than fifty seven years. Wrap-On introduced the first pipe heating cable to the market in the early 1940's. Other products such as roof & gutter cables and pipe insulation soon followed. In the years since, we have continually improved and updated our products to meet the changing needs of our customers.
Wrap-On Roof and Gutter Cables are the ideal preventative maintenance for snow and ice buildup. They create channels on the roof, in the gutter and in the downspout that allow melting ice and snow to flow freely, eliminating ice dams and reducing icicle formation. They can be used safely on all metal, plastic and vinyl gutters and downspouts and are UL listed and CSA certified. Packaging includes detailed instructions and all necessary hardware.
Even in below freezing weather, snow on the roof will often thaw because of heat from the sun and heat loss from the house through the roof. As this melted snow reaches the roof overhang it refreezes. Here there is no heat loss so the roof surface is much colder. As this melted snow refreezes again and again on the roof overhang, an ice dam is formed. Soon water backs up under shingles, and leaks into the house. It's not those big icicles that do the real damage, it's the ice you don't see that backs up in gutters and under shingles. When the ice melts it can really do a number on repair costs. Roof de-icing cable prevents this water and ice damage by providing a clear path for melting water to flow off the roof. It keeps roof edges, gutters and downspouts ice-free. Versatile design adapts to most roof and gutter configurations. This product is intended for the sole use of preventing ice dams from forming on inclined roofs with tab shingles, in gutters and downspouts. This roof de-icing cable is not intended for use as a snow melting system to clear roof of ice and snow.
Cable Installation Patterns (One cable may cover both roof and gutter areas, or separate cables can be used.)
This pre-assembled cable has been designed for the sole purpose of preventing the formation of ice dams on pitched roofs with non-combustible tab shingles and in metal or plastic gutters and downspouts. It provides drainage channels so that as natural thawing occurs, water has a path to flow off the roof and through the gutters and downspouts. This cable is not for use on a flat roof nor is it intended to clear the roof of snow and ice. The installation of this product is simple and it can be used with either metal or plastic gutters. Read and follow all instructions and pay particular attention to the following points: Install the cable when the outside temperature is above 50?F because at lower temperatures shingle material may be brittle; Clear all leaves, pine needles and debris from the roof, gutters and downspouts before operating the cable. Do not plug the cable in unless it has been completely uncoiled or it will be damaged.

Well it's LA so there is a lot to do. If you want good grades you won't go out much though.

Otis' campus is small but there is always free events for students to attend on campus. The school makes sure to have events so that way the students get a break from school.

A STUDENT at Codman Academy, a charter public high school in Dorchester, once wrote a paper about buying some fresh fruit for lunch. She'd have to take a bus for miles, past fast food restaurants and liquor stores, to get to a produce market.
It was a call to action for Mbakwe Okafor, Codman's wellness director. His mission: to pull students with few options for healthy eating off the road to obesity, diabetes, and other chronic diseases.
But that was a challenge at Codman, which has no athletic facilities, and no kitchen or cafeteria.
Okafor, 33, began with a whole-school approach to wellness. Every student was weighed and measured, with follow-up resources offered to parents. "I want to help kids reach their potential, whether through exercise or eating right. It's both a personal and professional mission,'' he said.
By 2009, Codman had eliminated junk food from its free lunch plan. This year, the entire school was designated a junk food-free zone: Candy, cookies, and soda are banned.
And to graduate, every Codman student must pass a nutrition competency exam.
Okafor grew up in the South Bronx, and knows the temptations of fast food. But as a basketball player and coach, he learned standards of fitness and proper diet. Today, he's a role model.
"I work out several times a week, live the kind of lifestyle that we're asking the kids here to follow,'' he said. "I can't remember the last time I drank soda.''

We do not condone or support Canonical in the course of action they have chosen, and will not carry XMir patches upstream.
Ubuntu has to do virtually all its work on Xmir drivers by itself. No one else supports it.

Question: as someone who isn't a Linux guy can you or anybody else tell me what is so bad about Mir? Reading the Wiki it seems to take good parts from Wayland and some of the good parts of Android...what EXACTLY is so bad about that?
And isn't competition good? Even Thom has written about how X-Server just isn't built for desktops ( there really isn't a point in using a client/server model when both are on the same box) so you now have two different choices, Mir and Wayland, and this is bad...why exactly?
I don't know, maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like having two new replacements for X-Server that can compete and motivate each other which sounds like a great idea to me.

It's Off to the County Fair!
Lesson 20 of 27
Objective: SWBAT ask and answer questions about key details in a literary text and in an informational text.
Big Idea: Excitement abounds as everyone prepares for the fair. Wilbur gets a buttermilk bath. The Zukermans' dress in their best and Wilbur's crate carries two stowaways.
Context and Overview
I am asking my students to juggle informational and literary text at the same time. In order for them to do so, I am modeling how I want them to research an insect that we began researching in yesterday's lesson. Themes having to do with the natural world are very important in E.B. White's books, and, in having them research an insect, I am helping them to build content knowledge that will allow them to access Charlotte's Web on a deeper level.
After I model, my students will tackle researching their first question. Then, they will have an opportunity to pair share their findings.
Then we will proceed with reading the next chapter, "Off To the Fair," and I will be asking some text dependent questions to help students read closely and rely on text evidence when formulating ideas about the text.
Some students will work independently answering the text dependent questions, while I work with a small group of students who need more attention at this time of the year.
Today's lesson begins a series on how to answer research questions that will continue into future lessons.
Opening Activity
After sharing the objective of the day from the carpet, I proceed with modeling the research process. For this lesson, I chose an informational book that had quality photographs and other text features: table of content, diagram, headings and subheadings.
I talk them through the process by emphasizing that in navigating an informational book does not always mean reading the whole book, especially when you have a specific research goal in mind. In this case, I am interested in finding out the answer to my first research question: what is a Mosquito is? Therefore, I will need to use the Table Of Contents so that I am guided as to where this information can be found. I read the titles listed and in reading I ask them to raise their hand when they hear a title that would help me do that.
I model how to locate the page number on the table of contents too. Then, I turn to that page. I create a bubble map and I write, what are mosquitoes? in the center of it. I tell that them that as I read I will be looking for information that tells me about what this insect is.
I read the page out loud and I stop and reread when I come upon information that is pertinent. I add this to the Bubble Map. I continue until I have about five good details.
Resources (4)
As students draw a bubble map to record their findings and get started researching their insect, I walk around and make sure they are on task. They use the books that I helped them find in yesterday's lesson to find more information.
I give support to those who may need it. Some students will need me to answer questions about which details are relevant and which are not. Some will want to know whether they should use words/phrases and/or complete sentences. (I tell them that they can use both.) Others will need help with the information on the page and how to best discern the information.
Some will be very excited to share their discoveries: She Notices There Is A Diagram Of A Butterfly!
With others, I want to check for their understanding.
Here are examples of their work:
Resources (10)
Pair Share
My students are English Language Learners. They benefit from much practice with academic vocabulary and I work on giving them plenty of speaking opportunities. That is why I make time for them to Pair Share. For today's pair share, they show their partner their bubble maps and explain what they found out about their insects in their research.
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
Whole Group Sharing
Some students feel more comfortable speaking in smaller groups than in a whole group. Others feel very comfortable about sharing in larger groups. That is why I incorporate sharing in various groups.
Now a couple of my students will share with the whole group.
After each share, the speakers get feedback. I ask students to follow this protocol when giving feedback:
- Two stars: Two different students tell the speaker what specifically they liked about the content of their writing.
- A wish: Another student tells the speaker what specifically about the writing can be improved.
Giving the feedback in this manner keeps this process a respectful one, and students feel safe to share.
Resources (3)
Reading: "Off To The Fair!"
In reading this chapter, "Off to the Fair," I want to keep the reading flowing and not get bogged down with answering questions. Thus, I chose a few text dependent questions that will hone in on the characters' behavior before the fair and the morning of the fair.
I also make sure to quickly check in my students about their knowledge about fairs.
In doing so, I don't want to spend too much time (I want the text to take center-stage), but I do want to help make a connection with their young lives and the lives of the people back then. Additionally, I want them to understand how fairs are experiences many of us have had regardless of time, age, and culture. This builds their content knowledge and the excitement/interest in the chapter.
I draw their attention back to the story by asking them how the story begins and why this matters to the plot?
Templeton is the antagonistic and reluctant anti-hero of this story. While I do not define Templeton as the anti-hero for my students, I do want to make sure they understand the role he plays in saving Wilbur. And what them to be aware of how the Old Sheep wisdom comes into play too.
I continue by asking other questions:
- Why does Charlotte decide to go to the fair too?
- Why does Wilbur faint?
Resources (4)
Today, my students are responding to the question: "What has happened in this chapter?" I am looking to see them write about how the characters get ready for the fair. Also, I am looking for them to include the decisions made by Charlotte to go and her ability to make sure Templeton accompanies them.
Here are some of their responses:
As they write, I walk around and provide support. Some need support to start. Others need support with spelling, others needs support of what to focus their writing.

Hawaii Five-0 Review: Marching InJim Garner at . Comments
Kalele: Faith.
Welcome back to Hawaii Five-0, Ed Asner! The veteran actor is not the first to have appearance in the original series and then come on board 30 years later in the same role. However, he is the first one who we actually watched in both universes, as "Kalele" aired a clip from 1975.
Beyond the depth that was added by the use of this flashback, Asner's portrayal of August March was very well done. I did not see him double crossing Angela at all. And it was really needed given that I had guessed from the outset that Angela had faked her own kidnapping.
Did anyone else catch the ever-so-slight change they made to the McGarrett lineage from the previous series to now? March said "There was a young officer named McGarrett who transported me to prison, I offered him 100 grand to help me." But in the original episode, McGarrett was a full detective, not a young officer, and Jack Lord was in his 50s at the time.
I'm okay with the change, though, given that Alex O'Loughlin was born in 1976, when Lord was 56 years old. I'm surprised they didn't play the original Steve McGarrett off as his grandfather. Especially given that William Sadler - who portrayed Jack McGarrett, Steve's father - was born in 1950 and it would have fit in the timeline.
Mary hasn't appearance since November - on the episode where they busted Kaleo (Jason Scott Lee) - and then she turned up here and suddenly they have reason to go see Kaleo? It's either way to coincidental, or the writers need to expand their range when attempting to tie in earlier episodes from this series.
Finally, I have to admit that Captain Fryer has grown on me. Maybe Tom Sizemore has finally settled into the role or maybe I'm softening on him as he grows a little hair. Either way he had one of my favorite Hawaii Five-0 quotes this week.
What did everyone else think of the outing? Are there any other characters/actors from the original series you would like to see turn up?

Alicia Keys, Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Garner and Susan Sarandon are among the stars who have thrown their support behind a new government initiative to provide education to girls worldwide.
Actor/director Tyler Perry, entertainer Nick Cannon, and Modern Family star Julie Bowen have also added their voices to the Let Girls Learn campaign, which aims to stress the importance of educating females around the globe.
The new initiative was launched on Friday (20Jun14) by officials at the Agency for International Development, who have pledged $231 million to the cause to fund safe learning opportunities for girls in Jordan, Guatemala, Afghanistan, South Sudan and Nigeria.
Celebrities were moved to join the Let Girls Learn campaign after more than 250 teenage girls were kidnapped from a boarding school in Nigeria by members of the Islamic militant group Boko Haram. The April (14) abduction took place two years after fellow Islamic extremists in the Taliban attempted to assassinate Pakistani student Malala Yousafzai as she made her way to school.
In the two-minute public service announcement (PSA) for Let Girls Learn, Bowen says, "A threat to girls' education anywhere is a threat to progress everywhere."
And Keys adds in a statement, "All around the world, people want to change the injustices but often times don't know exactly what they can do about it. I really wanted to participate in this (video) because empowering women changes the course of our world."


text: There is no doubt at this point that Harley-Davidson needs to engage new markets and customers in order for the company to continue to succeed. Along this vein, the Milwaukee brand recently retained the services of Sassenbach Advertising to help push the biker message out onto the internet. With virtually no budget, a computer, and a webcam, the German ad agency engaged over 170,000 people per week with the Harley-Davidson brand message "Sorry I'm on the Road" on Chatroulette, the latest internet craze.
